Summary

  • I am a Board Certified general practitioner, also known as an internist. I am an advocate for robust physician-patient partnerships. I focus on preventative screening and education to promote sustainable health in addition to acute illness and chronic disease management. I hold special interests in nutrition, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, arthritis, and sports medicine. I treat adults age 18 and older.

    I obtained my medical degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, Texas before completing an internship and residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. I am an active member of medical societies such as the American Medical Association, Texas Medical Association, and Collin County Medical Association.

    I am married with two young daughters. I consider myself a cycling enthusiast and enjoy the outdoors by hiking, backpacking, fly fishing, and skiing. When I am away from work, I enjoy unique food, good coffee, and spending time with my family.
